After a wavering one win - one loss beginning, the Austin-East gridironers reeled off seven succes- sive victories for an 8-1 regular season. Limber legged, glue fingered, and swivel hipped, the boys wearing Austin-East jerseys were the first team to score at the annual KFL Jamboree. In the first regular season game, the Clarence Jackson-spiked offense displayed its balanced passing and running attack, but this same eleven could not get going against a determined Oak Ridge team. In the next seven outings the defense showed its stuff by not allowing two teams to hit paydirt and holding four teams to six points. When the last punt was returned and the last TD scored, the team's only real regret was that Walter Jackson had waited until his senior year to embrace the pigskin. nd:-.-... ..f.a....sfLQ:I.L.,.....
